Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gearing for Motor Cars and other purposes.
Inventor: HOLLAND SAMUEL
Filed: 1903-12-23
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 28,218. Holland, S. Dec. 23. Motor road vehicles, driving-gear for. Figs. 2 and 3 show an arrangement of gearing for obtaining three forward speeds and one backward speed. On the driving-shaft A are mounted four toothed wheels B, C, D, E of various sizes. The wheels B, C, D gear with corresponding wheels G, H, J loosely mounted on the driven shaft F, and between the wheel E and a wheel K, loose on the shaft F, is arranged an idle wheel for the purpose of obtaining a reverse speed. Between the wheels G, H and the wheels J, K are arranged clutch sleeves M, keyed so as to slide on the shaft F. Each sleeve is formed with projections and recesses adapted to engage a corresponding projection and recess in the adjoining faces of each of the spur-wheels. The clutches may be moved so as to fix any of the wheels to the shaft F. The clutches are moved by means of forked levers coupled by links to cranks Q, W fixed to the shafts P, V respectively, or, instead of forked levers, pinions may engage circumferential grooves forming racks in the sleeves. The shaft P carries a lever S which projects upwards in a slot T in a frame U with H-shaped slots ; the shaft V surrounds the shaft P and carries a lever Y projecting upwards into the slot Z of the frame. When the clutch sleeves M are out of engagement, the levers S, Y face each other at the centre of the slots, and projections s, y on the levers engage notches in the frame to retain them in this position. A flexible lever or handle a, loosely mounted on the shaft P, passes between the levers S, Y and is provided with a hole a<1>, which can be brought into engagement with projections s<2>, y<2> on the levers. By bringing the lever a into engagement with either of the levers S, Y, the lever can be moved in the slot T or Z in either direction so as to move one of the clutch sleeves into engagement with any desired wheel. Notches may be provided in the frame at the ends of the slot to engage the projections s, y and so retain the levers in position. The toothed wheels may be fixed to the driven shaft F and loosely mounted on the driving-shaft A.

Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 6585. Deutsche Gold & Silber- Scheide Anstalt vorm. R÷ssler. June 11, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sodium perborate is prepared by the action of sodium peroxide on boric acid, in presence of an acid such as sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. In an example, the peroxide is added to a mixture of boric acid and water, and hydrochloric acid is run in, the mixture being kept cool throughout the operation. The liquid after standing is decanted off, and the crystals are washed and dried. The percentage of active oxygen in the product, or in any perborates containing water of crystallization may be increased by drying in vacuo. Sodiumpotassium peroxide may be employed ; in this case caustic soda and a corresponding amount of acid are also added.

Title: Method and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Electrical Condensers.
Filed: 1905-07-03
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 13,682. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. July 3. Condensers.-Apparatus for the manufacture of electric condensers consists of a number of bobbins which feed out bands of metal foil between bands of insulating-material on to a. cylinder, in this way producing hollow cylinders of alternate layers of foil and insulation, which are pressed flat. When the required number of layers has been wound, the band of foil is cut by an electrically-heated stretched wire, while the insulation is allowed to wind a little further before it is severed. Four rollers b, Fig. 1, wound with paraffined paper or the like, and two rollers c, wound with metal foil, e.,g. tin-foil, are mounted on a frame as shown, and the bands are guided by rollers d, e, f to a rotated cylinder j. The means for discontinuing the supply of metal foil before discontinuing the supply of insulating-material is shown in Fig. 4, in which four reels b contain bands of insulating-material i, and two rollers c contain bands of metal foil m, m<1>. The bands are kept separate by means of the six rollers g, A, k, g<1>, h<1>, k<1>, and are combined at a single roller as shown, from which they are wound upon the winding-cylinder. The rollers h, h<1>, over which the tin-foil bands pass, receive their motion from the rollers g, g<1> by means of intermediate rollers n, n<1> mounted on the frame p, which may be lowered by the lever o to withdraw the rollers n, n' from the periphery of the rollers g, g<1>. The frame p carries also studs q, q<1>, from which are stretched horizontally wires r, r<1>, connected to a source of current, the circuit being completed when the lever o is moved from its insulated plate w on to the plate t. When it is desired to complete the winding, the lever o is raised so as to move the frame p, and so move the rollers n, n<1> out of contact with rollers g, g<1>, while still bearing upon the rollers h, h<1>, so as to hold these stationary. At the same time, the heated wires r, r<1>, being brought down into contact with the bands of metal foil as they pass over the sloping tables x, x<1> fuse and separate the foil. When the lever o is raised, a weight causes a lever z to drop into the vertical position, so that, when the lever o is again moved downwards, the lever z prevents it from being lowered completely and thereby prevents the frame p from rising sufficiently to bring the rollers n, n<1> in contact with the rollers g, g<1>. In consequence, the insulating bands travel onwards together with the severed part of the foil band between them, but further supply from the roll of tin-foil is now stopped until the weighted end of the lever z is raised, a gap being left between the two severed ends of the tin-foil. The insulation is then cut in the middle of this gap.
